I've started looking at RREPORT (http://rreport.8m.com) and JReport Pro
(www.jinfonet.com) which are both web reporting tools based on Java.
It should be possible to create custom tags to do similar things in CF.
Hopefully, Allaire will appreciate the benefits of moving to a
platform-independent reporting system based on Java instead of Crystal
Reports. Makes sense to me ...
I'll pass along any new info ...
Regards,
Kevin
